Hmm... Could be? I am not sure... He was at Roselands shopping center according to his SM today it seems? So in NSW? Studio 10 is in Melbourne I think?

Max posting today on his SM:

Wow - if looks could kill. I think she's over the media for a while - hope she gets some reprieve on her trip

AAL, Studio 10 is filmed in Sydney, Project in Melbourne.

Aah, AEF.

Do you think it is Max in that pic?

Yes it would fit he was there but guess he could be representing any of the girls or could have been walking in at the same time.

Great spotting, AEF! It would make sense for him to represent someone. I think you may be correct that he may represent Lana. She has had a pretty good media coverage since back in April when her dates were spoiled.

Hmm... so I've been thinking and something is still not adding up with Lana.

I watched the full interview of The Project and well, something is off with her. I don't think her feelings were that invested in Sam as much as wanting to appear to be a winner and hating that she was dumped on TV.

There's so much that is strange:
...Only Lana's dates spoiled in DM and she was looking at the camera the entire time.
... her video post-FRC all kissy etc (she looked super happy, not at all heartbroken) and being all sexy and winking in that IG video

and this... Lana was F2 with a single mother. How on earth would she think she would be F1? And if she actually did, why on earth would she want to be with a guy who would drag a single mother to F2?

Something doesn't add up here and add in Max Markson and Lana's SM, etc,. It felt a bit put on by her to be honest during The Project when I watched the full clip (posted in the online links thread). I think it was more ego than actual feelings. I don't know... I am trying to give the benefit of the doubt but hmmm...

I did think that the female f2s usually don't care or are angry and I think Lana is the most upset f2 I have seen. I think Lana feels really stupid that she had to play catch up and so she became more vulnerable than would have normally been the case because she had to fight so hard.

I do see where you are going AAL. I could add to your theory that Lana did not apply to be on the bachelor and that she more than most would have access to a large pool of Sydney's eligible men because of the circles in which she socialises.

I do feel for her... it is never nice to be on TV and be seen as runner up, etc. But when watching the show, Lana is actually one of the least broken up F2s I've ever seen. Heather was F4 and her heartbreak was 100x more, imo. Lisa sobbed her eyes out at FRC last season and she barely even cared for Blake.

In fact, I watched Lana on the last episode and she is so stiff and almost emotionless. When she met Sam's family and talked to Sam's sister, Hanna, Sam's sister was crying and even though Lana used her words (which were very impersonal, imo, more like an observant therapist) I noticed Lana never hugged Hanna and Hanna cried more and I thought it was a bit aloof.

Even on The Project, she seemed so aloof and stiff and then only when talking about her being dumped did she have tears and even brought up that the show didn't show how much she was feeling so to me it felt like it was way too put on by Lana on The Project. And then when the camera was focused on the other girls, Lana was just stiff and aloof once again.

And her saying she thought she was going to be F1? Again, Sam had a single mother in the F2, no matter who else was in that F2 there's no way they would think they would be F1 and if they did, again, what does that say about the guy they like? That he would drag a single mother to FRC? Not believable, imo.

I am sure she had some feelings or what have you but it is probably more about losing and that being broadcast on television. Even on The Project, Lana said it was worse watching FRC then when she was there....

I do think Sam led her on and she was likely in the bubble but there's so much that points to Lana wanting people to think she won and that video of her "celebrating" winking and kissing at the camera post-FRC was not of a heartbroken person at all. If she was heartbroken then she is a really, really good actress.

Well done Lana on keeping your head held high.
Never take that crown off!

Wait. I thought you were liking Lana now? IMO Lana is a very poised and confident girl who has held herself together for months while in front of the camera and in the public and now is allowing herself to fall apart a little. Please, I beg of you...let's let the poor girl get on with her life and not  give the media anything else they can use to put her in a negative light. IMO, the media find you great sleuthers info here and run wild w/it. K back to lurkingdom

AAL, this is the exact impression I got from Lana too, stiff and emotionless. And I do think she was here for the win, not for the man, that's why she is sad being dumped on national tv.

I can't get warm to anyone with a "witch" nose, I feel bad saying this, but I see too many of those who really are calculated.

I 100% still believe Lana is a winner all the way for not "winning". I think all the girls are winners, imo, for not "winning". It's not about liking or disliking her at all - I don't know her (just piecing things together pre-during-post show). Knowing one's worth as a woman is so important to me and that's why I loved that quote and loved that Lana wouldn't take Sam back (or any of the girls wouldn't) b/c it he was no prize, imo, and not worthy of them even if he had a "the bachelor" title.

I do feel bad for Lana as I do all F2s. It's such a rough place to be in and have that televised. I don't dislike Lana, but I wouldn't say she is my favourite or that I am a "fan" if you will. To me, I seldom am a fan (really like and will follow the person on the forum/SM many, many months/years after the show finishes) of anyone and there's only one couple I have ever been a fan of from any franchise ever in the history of this show and only 2 contestants since this show first began.

I am just trying to put together the original sleuthing with what has transpired post-show and I only watched the final episode a few hours ago so commenting on that. AEF mentioned Max Markson whom I am aware of b/c of last season and with all the spoiled pics and piecing it all together... well, that video still does not show someone heartbroken right after FRC...
